Mr.. Renick was slender man. about medium
height, low voiced and gentle In manner,
but with great energy and determined will. Un-
der circumstances requiring 1t, his capacity for
leadership was developed His conversational
powers had been cultivated by association with
the best men OF the country, so that he talked
well on any subject which interested him. He
was frequent contributor to the newspapers
on political or agricultural subjects. His home
at his High Bank farm, ut On early day, was the
scene of many o afcstivity. Dinner parties, dances
and fox hunts were Of frequent occurrence.
His favorite authors were Shakespeare and Adtli-
son, from whom he quoted not infrequently.
He was killed in 1913 by u falling timber, and
his death was widely and hearty lamented.
The first regular stock sale In Ohio was held
October 2O 1885, ut Felix Renicks farm. In
1894 Mr.. Renick after much labor, organized
the Ohio Company for the purpose of bringing
Thoroughbred cattle from England. The orig
inal subscription list OF the company contained
the names of forty-four men, though half o
dozen of them never paid for their shares OF
stock and their names were dropped from the
list.
Tho stock OF the company proved to be excel
lent property. The capital stock was tl0OO,
and majority OF the original stockholders had
to double their subscriptions in order to raise
1t. Felix Renicl was the leading spirit In the
enterprise, and he, In company with two others,
went to England in 1884 and purchased num-
| ber of thoroughbred cattle. He kept an accurate
L account OF his journey, and has recorded In his
| diary all of the incidents and experiences Of
himself and companions with singular pictur'
| esqueness Of description and facility Of nara
| tion.
One of the old citizens Of Chillicothe who left
q deep and pleasant impression In the minds ol
| acquaintances and friends who survive him was
| James McClintick, whose fame for integrity
considerably exceeded the bounds OF the Scdote
| Valley.

Before bringing the sketches Of Ohio's FIRST
Capital to a close 1t will be found profitable TO
say something about the distinguished lawyer,

one Of the strong characters that bore u useful
nnd prominent part in the arduous and delicate
work OF founding this Government FEEDER
alist and o friend Of Washington he was
Wrought into close and important relations with
the great men OF his day, and he filled with
distinguish cd ability the many positions OF re-
sponsibility and trust that were bestowed upon
him.
He was an active participant in the debates
OF the Constitutional Convention, and In 1904
was appointed Senator OF the United States,
and was one Of the early presiding officers Of
the body OF which he then became member
He was elected to the Senate in 1877, and held
his seat till 1893. While he was Senator Pres
ident Washington appointed him, with one Of the
Judges Of the Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania
and Mr.. Bradford, the Attorney General to Z
Commission charged with the serious business
Of composing the disturbances occasioned by tht

discharged their duties with SO much tuct ant

GREAT REJOICING.

A Message From the Pope Which Induces
the Practitioners Of st. stephens to De.
lieve DIR. McGlynn VIII be Rcinstated.
New York, March 4.-St. Stephens
parish was thrown into state Of wild ex-
citement last night. Bonfres were built
and general joy prevailed. Crowds Of the
parishioners gathered and congratulated
one another upon the receipt OF cable
gram from Rome, addressed to DR.. Carey,
chairman of the Parishioners committee, as
follows:
"Your telegram was most acceptable to
the Sovereign Pontiff, who, returning
thanks, imparts most lovingly his apostolic
benediction to the Rev. Father McGlynn,
to you and to all the faithful of the Parish.
''H. MocENDI."
Father McGiynn was highly delighted,
and attributed the message to the repre-
sentations Of Cardinal Gibbons, who is now
ct Rome. He also believes that the church
will be most lenient to the labor unions,
and that the Pope is being enlightened on
American matters. Tho parishioners look
for speedy reinstatement OF their pastor.

GHOST STOPPING TRAINS.

The Railroad Employees Mt Republic, Ohio,
Excited Over Danger signals That are
Displayed Near the Late Accident by
Unseen Hands.
TIFFIN, O., March 3.-The village OF Re-
public has ghost, which stops trains, and
there is great excitement there. A few
nights ago, when express No. (the same
train that was wrecked January ~, was ap-
preaching the scene of that horrible disaster,
the engineer saw q red light, the danger sig
nal ahead, and applying the brakes and re-
versing the engine, the train came to stand
still on almost the exact spot Of the great
wreck. Strange to say, when the train
came to stop, the light had disappeared,
and could nowhere be seen. Before stop
ping, both the engineer and fireman noticed
that the light appeared to be carried by a
woman in white Puzzled by the disap-
pearance of the signal, the conductor walked
over the track for some distance ahead, but
could discover nothing.
The train then backed to Republic station,
and tho operator was questioned, but he
assured them that no signal had been sent
out The train then proceeded on its way
cautiously, the engineer keeping sharp
lookout, but nothing more was seen OF the
mysterious woman. This strange appari
tion has appeared on three occasions, ans
has greatly excited trainmen. A posse has
watched the place for several nights, bu
the ghost has not since appeared.

The stock business Of .he West had its origin
and rise in Ross County and the Scioto Valley,
and the first imported stock seen In the North
west Territory was brought at an early date TO
Chillicothe.
Cattle-raising was an industry Of great i'm
portance In Ohio prior TO 1850. The remote
ness of the settlements from markets in the
early days Of the country made the price OF
grain SO low that the most profitable disposition
that could be made Of 1t was to feed It to cat
tic. So. on the rich bottom land OF the Scioto,
the business Of raising cattle for the Eastern
markets commenced nearly eighty-five years
ago.
From old residents learn that in the early
days cattle were not sheltered but were kept
In open lots of eight or ten acre each, ana fed
twice day with unhusked corn and the fodder.
The waste was picked up by hogs. This
practice, introduced in Ross County, is still in
vogue throughout most Of the West The
method of securing corn utter maturity by cut
ting OF the stalks near the ground and stacking
them in the field where 1t was grown in shocks
also originated with the raisers Of cattle in the
Scioto Valley. The first English cattle thai
came to Ohio or to the West were from Patton
herd, ind were driven from Kentucky to Chill
cothe. In 1904 the first herd Of cattle ever taker
to Eastern market were driven over the noun
tains to Baltimore by George Renich, OF Ross
County. The business thus commenced soo1
grew to large proportions. The old Ohio urover'
who visited New York stayed as rule ct Bur-
Head Tavern which was kept by Daniel Dre@
| and stands on the site Of the Bowery Theater.
/ The man who gave standing and system to tn
| raising Of stock was Felix Renick. 1t was h
who set on foot the movement that resulted n
| the importation of the first thoroughbred stool
! brought to the West from England.
He was in many ways remarkable man. and h
filed great many positions of usefulness and re
| sponsibility. The Renick family large on
| well-lsnown one in southern Ohio, Kentucky an
| Virginia, is OF German origin. Felix Renick wa
born in It'll, and first came to Chillicothe In l7R
| Three years later he took up his permanent res
| dence ut High Rock. in Liberty Township, Ros
County His life was q singularly active one
| Judge Thurman knew him WELL and spoke Of hiI
| to me with the warmest admiration, declarin
him to be man of great worth, energy and CT
| pacity. He was not politician. but took u
active interest in oil matters Of public momen
| He was q fluent and instructive writer ma
fond Of books, and was president Of the Logn
| Historical Association. When the Belpre ar
Cincinnati Railroad Company was organized
was ut once proposed for president, and at tn
time OF his death he was president OF the Port
mouth and Columbus Turnpike Company. M
Renick was one OF the first Associate Judges
Ross County, and to his other accomplishment
| added o knowledge Of surveying.

ness in the army every now and then"
said an old soldier yesterday. "That is
to say, the officers would get good and try
to make the rest of us come up to their
ideas. You see, when time hung heavy
on our hands we would while away our
leisure by an indulgence in the wicked
game of chuck-a-luck, or in seven-up, or
by an occasional poker game. remem-
Der when we were in Mississippi"

of fellows mark off numbers-1-2-3-i
it, put the money on the numbers
and throw dice, and the fellows numbers
turned up take the pot? Well. as | was
going on to say, the officers had a spasm
and decided to break up gambling. They
took up every card and dice box in the
camps. What did we do? Why. bless
your soul, we went on gambling. a lot
of fellows would each get a little piece of
bread and smear on "A bit of syrup and
lay out the spread and then all sit and
wait There were million flies about
camp, and in minute you would see
fly light on piece of bread and go for
the syrup. Well, the owner of that piece
of bread would take the pot. That and
other devices for evadng the orders of

could not head us off, and they gave US

Thanks to those instructive works called
manuals of geography, and the valuable
information of various worthy folks who
have never seen any desert but Coney
Island, we all know pretty well by this
time what Arabia ought to be like. a
dreary, unending level of burning sand
tastefully decorated with human skele-
tons and milestoned with solitary palm
trees thirty leagues apart, each overhang-
ing 'limpid WELL whatever that may
be-, while bands of dusky robbers mounted
on horses possessing the singular property
of always going at full galop and never
needing to be fed, scurry over the path
less waste in a style of clothing repulsive
to every right principled mind, living COM
fortably where there is nothing to eat,
and amassing rich spoil where there is no
one to rob.
But these well ascertained facts are
rudely shaken when confronted with
Arabia as it is, which does not agree by
any means with Arabia as it ought to be.
The untraveled traveller sees with amaze
ment Arabian mountains several thousand
feet in height, Arabian valleys rs green
and beautiful as the charming little glens
that lurk amid the black lava ridges of
Iceland, Arabian fortresses armed with
European cannon, Arabian coffee planta-
tons worthy of the choicest districts Of
Java and Brazil. Indeed, the whole
northern slope of the Coffee mountains of
Yemen is still as rich and productive,
even after centuries of Turkish misrule,
as in the far oil days when Mocha was
the chief outlet of southern Arabia. little
dreaming that it should one day be rs
magniiicently useless as a London foot
man or the head steward Of an ocean
